NHTSA Investigation into Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD)
Summary
NHTSA opened a probe into FSD after crashes and reports of traffic-safety violations (e.g., running red lights), citing concerns about degraded-visibility performance. The probe was upgraded to an engineering analysis covering roughly 2.4–3.2M vehicles.
Outcome
Ongoing/contested: no recall ordered as of mid-2026, but the engineering analysis is a step that could lead to one.
